I have to echo Steven's comments. A framework makes certain things easier. However, with a n00b programmer, it may well prevent them from digging deeply into the language, because much of the work is done for them by the framework. And Steven's right-- I've found with every single framework I've ever used (going way back to my C language days), the framework ultimately got in my way, to some extent or another. I end up having to code around what the framework's doing to get done what I want. Again, frameworks aren't bad. I use one. I use it because it's one I wrote and suits my needs without getting in my way. I've tried to use it in other environments, and it doesn't always work well in those environments. But it works for the environment in which I code. Paul -- Paul M. Foster -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
